FOX’s Shep Smith Talks Torture

Filed in National by on April 22, 2009

I won’t ruin the surprise.  Just watch the video. (NSFW)  Bet that little warning caught your attention!

Here’s a longer version of the video.  Shep’s days at FOX may be numbered.  Listen to the examples he cites in reference to cherrry picking information.  Color me impressed.

    Wow.

    I’m more shocked that someone on Fox said, “We are Americans. We do not torture.” than I am about the F bomb.

    Shepard Smith has been slowly coming out of the Thought Closet over the past few months. Good for Sheppy.

    wow. well, seeing as Rupert and Seany-Boy will have him fired, at least we know who will be filling the 10pm slot on MSNBC

    I’ve added a longer (edited) version above. It’s really worth a listen.

    Is Glen Beck the one who splits the GOP? The last time I saw a clip of Shep Smith, he was ridiculing Beck. The feud of the anti-Muslim RW bloggers also seems to fall along the likes/hates Beck line. Interesting.

  6. Von Cracker says:

    I think for some on the right, Beck is that perfect combination of borg-conservative politics and fanatical christianity.

    So yeah, I agree. Beck is the current line of demarcation between greedy old schoolers, who are sane but evil, and the loonies….

  7. you know it really surprises me that the “patriots” of the GOP allow tortue.

    Very impressive…was that live?

    Why does it surprise you DV? After the blatant lying to go to war in Iraq why would anything surprise you? Sometimes I’m surprised by how much the administration would conform to my worst fears about what they were up to. I’m just waiting for them to unearth a memo justifying canceling elections to protect us or something, the fear I had in my wildest paranoid fantasies.

    It’s a Smitty thing. I’m just disappointed it’s been a slow process for him.

  10. R Smitty says:

    Excuse me, I meant to say that it’s a FUCKING Smitty thing.

    Actually I have seen Shep Smith really speak his mind a great deal over the last year plus. It hasn’t been a slow process at all. He has never fit the Faux News box at all.

  12. cassandra_m says:

    I’m told that Shep Smith often doesn’t partake of the Fox Kool-Aid. Smith will pursue subjects the way he wants to, or he will do stuff like the Glen Beck ridicule he did some weeks back. Smith was really mad in this clip and good for him.

  13. sounds like DG has been watching fox news….
